Mutten: Obermutten
Obermutten combines an isolated alpine setting with a long-established Walser identity in a way that reflects its position above the Albula Valley in Graubünden. This small settlement belonged to the former municipality of Mutten, which became part of Thusis in 2018. Timber farmhouses and agricultural buildings stand among high pastures, while wooded slopes lead towards the surrounding mountains. The Walser were German-speaking settlers who established communities in high Alpine valleys during the Middle Ages, and their building traditions remain central to Obermutten’s character. Away from Graubünden’s larger resorts, the hamlet represents the region’s pastoral side, where farming, forest and mountain settlement share a limited plateau.

Mutten has served as a Walser settlement in the mountains of Grisons since the late Middle Ages. Perched on the eastern side of the Hinterrhein valley, this small former municipality became part of Thusis after a municipal merger in 2018. Its territory climbs through woodland and alpine pasture towards Obermutten, a tiny high-altitude hamlet where the German-speaking Walser tradition remains a defining feature of multilingual Graubünden. The area’s remoteness is tangible, reached by a winding mountain road rather than the main routes through the Rhine valley.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
